How One Nonprofit Uses On-the-Job Training to Fulfill Its Mission with Amina Mohamed

How do you design training that actually leads to a job, not just a certificate? In this episode of Learning for Good, I sit down with Amina Mohamed, founder and executive director of Cameras for Girls,  a Canadian charity advancing gender equality in media across Africa, to talk about  designing learning around the change you want to create. So many nonprofits build training programs and hope people walk away better prepared, but hoping isn't the same as knowing a program creates real employment outcomes. For Amina, a training program only matters if it ends in a job, and that standard shapes every phase of how she builds and evaluates her work. ▶️ How One Nonprofit Uses On-the-Job Training to Fulfill Its Mission with Amina Mohamed ▶️ Key Points: 00:00:00 Career Training Reflection 00:03:11 Introduction to Amina: From Film and Television to Cameras for Girls 00:09:07 The Mission Behind Cameras for Girls 00:12:38 Inside the Four-Phase Training Model 00:20:52 Amina's Vision for Cameras for Girls: Training Isn't the Goal, Change Is 00:25:03 Turning Training Into Lasting Impact Resources from this episode: Join the next Learning for Good Summit in October: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/influence-to-action Join the Nonprofit Learning and Development Collective: https://www.skillmastersmarket.com/nonprofit-learning-and-development-collective Connect with Amina LinkedIn: Amina Mohamed Website: camerasforgirls.org  Connect with Heather LinkedIn: Heather Burright Website: skillmastersmarket.com Book an interest call with Heather here. ⭐Was this episode helpful?
